A cemetery is probably not something one thinks of as a sight when visiting any city, but nothing is normal in New Orleans. Apart from the long tradition of voodoo, the Lafayette cemetery is popular for grave-spotting and it is not as macabre as it sounds. In fact, the cemetery has some beautifully done tombs and is actually considered a nice experience to wander around. But more importantly, this has been the setting for Anne Rice’s vampire series of books. And for vampire junkies, this was also the setting for TV series ‘The Originals.’ There’s also a bizarre tradition here: visitors leave voodoo coins in the hope of getting ‘favours’ in return.
